Pair of Hans Wegner Chairs

POA

The Wishbone chair was designed by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen & Son and is regarded by many architects and designers as the most beautiful chair in the world.

"Also known as the 'Y' chair or the CH24, the Wishbone was designed in 1949 and has been in production since 1950. Inspired by classic paintings of Danish merchants sitting in Ming Dynasty chairs, Wegner's triumph of form-meets-functionality achieves optimum compfort through an economical use of materials. "People are usually surprised to discover that the seat is woven manually" says Trine Ingwersen at Carl Hansen & Son. "Every CH24 is hand finished, with all the wooden components individually selected by a carpenter to ensure the chair is as uniform in grain and colour as possible".
